Good call. I just rechecked and noticed you're right on that. One of those 
systems runs both softwares I believe, that's where the confusion was.

I've had Mystic hooked up to Dovenet since QWK networking was added to it, and 
have never had this issue, so I can only guess that there's a serious setup 
error going on. If there's a way you could capture one of those large corrupted 
REP packets you mentioned for James to take a look at, that would be a good 
start.

Nick
